Watford v Luton

Watford vs Luton Preview

Watford finally put an end to a previously worrying five-match winless run in the Championship last weekend when The Hornets picked up a welcome three points by way of an impressive 1-0 win away from home at Middlesbrough, and Watford now return to Vicarage Road for Sunday lunchtime's encounter against Luton Town looking for the same.

Luton Town still occupy bottom place in the Championship standings which perhaps comes as no surprise given the fact that The Hatters have now failed to win any of their previous 11 games overall in the English second tier despite picking up a point in a 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle in midweek.

Watford had previously been dealt four defeats in their preceding five games overall with losses incurred against the likes of Preston NE, Coventry City, Norwich City and Leeds United respectively, while the bigger picture shows the upcoming hosts have managed to collect just two wins from their last 11 games.

Victories against Derby County and Middlesbrough were both picked up on their travels but seven defeats within these 11 games have overshadowed Watford's modest successes in recent times.

Watford have lost their last five home games on the trot but The Hornets' overall results on home soil at Vicarage Road have seen the hosts pick up nine wins to date in this current campaign.

Luton Town are in serious danger of suffering back-to-back relegations as The Hatters currently sit bottom of the Championship table after dropping down through the trap-door of the Premier League at the end of the last campaign.

A current miserable 11-game winless run in the Championship has done little to boost the morale of a beleaguered Luton Town outfit who recently dismissed former manager Rob Edwards and replaced by former Wycombe Wanderers boss Matt Bloomfield, whose job is to keep Luton Town in the English second tier.

Having slumped to eight defeats within these previous 11 matches overall in the Championship, the omens do not look good for the visitors ahead of Sunday's lunchtime encounter at Vicarage Road especially as five of these eight losses were incurred on their travels.

Indeed, Luton Town possess a wretched record on the road in the Championship as The Hatters have failed to win any of their last 13 outings on the road in this division, whilst also slipping to no fewer than 12 defeats in the process as well.

In addition, Luton Town have also conceded two goals or more on 11 occasions within these 13 away games.
